Liquid Sunshine...

Spring is on it's way! The birds are singing and just about the last of the snow banks have melted away... It sure is giving me an extra spring in my step.

I thought I'd let you all in on my newest project. Of course it's something here at my espresso stand...

I have a foundation behind the espresso stand that has four octagonal cement pads in it. My landlord gave me permission to turn this into a sitting area! So exciting... :)



Since the cement pads are octagon shaped, I thought it would be fun to have an octagon picnic table for them... I found this one on Craigslist, and it's even in Moscow! How lucky is that??? I'm not sure I can quite afford this one, but the guy who made it said he'd be happy to make me another one anytime. Pretty convenient. I'm hoping to get a couple of these eventually.





And to top off such a good start to my sitting area, I've been able to find quite a few free bricks around the area! I'm still looking for lots more since it's such a large area to fill. Let me know if you know anyone around this area that has old/used bricks or pavers that they'd like to get rid of. I'd be happy to take them off their hands!

In a desperate attempt to hold north Idaho in it's icy grip...

Winter just won't give up, it just keeps snowing out there... but I have to admit, I kinda like it. Now I just have to play hooky at work and take my skis out for a day or two.


Soon we'll be buried under a mountain of snow... Sounds cozy.


Jeff cleaned off his car before going to bed hoping it would be an easy job in the morning...







Thank goodness for snow plows... now pull over and get out of my way so I can drive faster.
